Netfinity Manager Netfinity Manager provides powerful hardware systems-management capabilities, including access to all systems on the network that are running Netfinity Manager or Client Services for Netfinity Manager. In addition to all standard Client Services for Netfinity Manager functions, Netfinity Manager also features directory transfers and file, remote screen captures, and remote command-line sessions. Netfinity Manager also enables you to export data collected by System Information Tool, System Profile, Software Inventory, and System Monitor to a DB2, Lotus Notes, or SQL or DB2 via an open database connectivity (ODBC) database (ODBC export is available on Windows NT systems only). Finally, Netfinity Manager enables you to start services at scheduled times and dates for simplified, automated systems management. Netfinity Manager also provides two powerful features that enable you to access the Netfinity Manager system and all Netfinity Manager systems from a system that is not attached to the managing system network: v Serial Connection Control Use the Serial Connection Control service to use a Netfinity Manager system modem to establish a connection with any Netfinity Manager system that has a modem. Once this connection is established, the Netfinity Manager has full access to Netfinity Manager services, just as though the remote system were part of the managing system network. v Netfinity Manager for Web Netfinity Manager for Web enables access and remote control of the Netfinity Manager system over the Internet, using any system that has an Internet connection and a World Wide Web (WWW) browser. With the Netfinity Manager for Web, you can access your Netfinity Manager systems from anywhere in the world. Managing your IBM Netfinity server with Netfinity Manager The copy of Netfinity Manager that is included with ServerGuide entitles you to one Netfinity Manager installation. You are also entitled to additional installations of Client Services for Netfinity Manager. To use Netfinity Manager to monitor and manage this Netfinity server, install Netfinity Manager on a system in your network that you will use as a system-management console, and then install Client Services for Netfinity Manager on your Netfinity server. You can also install additional copies of Client Services for Netfinity Manager on other systems in your network. Furthermore, additional Netfinity Manager and Client Services for Netfinity Manager licenses are available for purchase from your IBM representative. Note: This section provides installation instructions for all operating systems supported by Netfinity Manager. However, not all operating systems described in this section are certified for use with all Netfinity server models.
